A letter from the faculty in History at Columbia history.columbia.edu/department-fac…
Ruha Benjamin and Princeton faculty witnesses set the record straight on the peaceful Clio Hall sit-in in solidarity with the 13 arrested participants. Read their statement now: bit.ly/ptonsolidarity
"The UAW said Friday night that it made history with its biggest organizing win in decades when workers at the Volkswagen Chattanooga plant in Tennessee voted to join the union." freep.com/story/money/ca…
NEW: 2,300 grad workers at Princeton are forming a union as @PrincetonGSU and are joining @ueunion. Grad workers at every Ivy League school have now moved to unionize.
"It is by the people who do the work that the hours of labour, the conditions of employment, the division of the produce is to be determined...[i]t is for the welfare of all that the coordinated labour of all must be directed...This is democracy." - Henry Demarest Lloyd

Dave Roediger still knocking it out of the ballpark in the intro to the newest edition of his seminal Wages of Whiteness:
An especially extraordinary and hopeful development among the spate of union election filings and victories we've seen recently...hard to imagine this happening even ten or fifteen years ago.
On the @UAW livestream tonight, President @ShawnFainUAW said that VW workers in Chattanooga had signed another 1,000 union cards.

The most enlivening, joyous book talk I've been to in a long time. Prof. Grafton is indeed our own magus, and in this he embodies the very best of what our human sciences can and should be.

So few US historians of religion have honored its transcendence beyond mere culture the way DuBois did: "But to most of the four million black folk emancipated by the civil war, God was real. They knew Him. They had met Him personally in many a wild orgy of religious frenzy..."

Me when I have friends over: Please treat my home as your home. Make yourself comfortable. Allow me to express my love for you through hospitality!!!!!! Me staying with friends: might I perhaps be permitted to drink a glass of water from your faucet if it is not too much bother

Trekked through the snowy and muddy woods "rapt in a revery," as Thoreau would say.
I've reached the point in generals prep where in nightly dreams I am straining to grasp a book's argument and write down the thesis before waking. I give my subconscious zero points for imaginative capacity but partial credit for its commitment to rigorous note-taking.

@WesleyCoop @DanielDiMartino One of the distinctive things about markets is that they operate at the level of productive factors. How those productive factors (or the owners of those productive factors) are embedded in families is something markets take no note of. Hence the welfare state!
And yet Berlin’s negative liberty shares affinities with neoliberalism
Neoliberalism "has led to the freedom of a few at the expense of the many. As Isaiah Berlin would have it: Freedom for the wolves; death for the sheep," @JosephEStiglitz writes: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
Congratulations to the courageous Volkswagen workers in Tennessee for overwhelmingly voting to join the United Auto Workers. They have stood up for economic justice and have made a historic breakthrough in the South. When workers stand together against corporate greed, we win.

It’s nothing short of incredible how well the Trump family manages to intuit the habitus of the people I grew up with, despite having no connection whatsoever to the material conditions that produced them. Marxists have no way to adequately explain this.

i have still not heard a convincing case from the “this is fascism” camp how they intend to engage trump voters—at the level of concrete political practice, subtracting the moral-normative dimension altogether—while deploying a term which casts them beyond the ideological pale
